Those dollars become worth significantly less over time. Wonder if that is factored in to these deferred contracts?

True.  The interest alone on that first years 68 million woolf

be a huge amount

Utter. Freaking. Genius.

When it comes time to pay the rest of Ohtani's contract in 2034...sell the team. Wolf of Wall Street still on my list of things to watch, but that line floored me.

It’s a great watch.  Not sure I ever need to rewatch it but thoroughly enjoyed the watch.

Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton into the Hall of Fame. 

To me, Beltre's a slam dunk. Not so sure about the others. They were very good -- but HOF worthy? 

Well, the voters said so. Nobody asked me!

Being Peyton Manning's buddy (Helton) just doesn't help you get in the Football HOF, it works for baseball too.

My parents were in Sarasota watching some games.

Watched the Cubs/Cards this afternoon.  I hope that Cubbies' defense today was just an aberration.

It is probably going to be another long season, but oh well, Go Tigers. Fun though they are finally playing the Braves at home in interleague so I will get to see them in person.

Reds were picked to win the central before a rash of injuries, now they are picked 3rd.

Go REDS!!!

[cleeter]

Tomorrow will be my 17th straight opening day. Pumped for some baseball. 
Lets go Redlegs!

[AZ Hoosier]

Anxious to see how the Diamondbacks do this year. Great run last season, all the way to the WS, but can they repeat?

Adding Eduardo Rodriguez to the pitching staff should help, and they picked up a couple more bats in Eugenio Suarez and Joc Pederson.

But they're still in the division with the Dodgers and their massive payroll. I'll take another run via the wild card route again.

Can't wait. Go from the clown show that is IUBB to the absolute clown show that is White Sox baseball. Why does every one of my teams have the management of kindergartners? White Sox O/U win total is 61.5, I pounded the under. Play Ball!

Montgomery is signing after opening day, so the D'Backs should be a playoff team if they stay healthy.

Have fun!  If you see my nephew there, tell him I said high.  He will probably be the only one wearing Turdue garbage, lol
